Ingredients

• 2 cups Plain low-sodium Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional, for a thicker sauce and added nutrition)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and water over medium heat.

Step 2

2. Stir the mixture gently as it begins to simmer. Allow it to cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries start breaking down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 3

3. For a thicker sauce, stir in 1 teaspoon of chia seeds and let simmer for an additional 2 minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 4

4. Remove the berry sauce from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow it to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate for later use.

Step 5

5. Divide the low-sodium yogurt equally among four bowls or glasses.

Step 6

6. Spoon the cooled berry sauce over the yogurt and gently swirl for a marbled effect, or layer the sauce on top for a clean, layered presentation.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately, or store the yogurt and sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
